CEN and CENELEC WORKSHOP: ‘Digital Product Passport for Printed Circuit Boards’ The planned CWA establishes a common view on how a 🛂 Digital Product Passport (DPP) for 🪫 Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) should be structured and which data are necessary to develop circularity in electronics. The development of a CWA on Digital Product Passport for Printed Circuit Boards is proposed as there is the need to define the type of data to be embedded in a DPP for PCBs. As consensus-based guidelines the CWA will establish a common view on how a DPP for PCBs should be structured and which kind of data are mandatory to really allow and apply circular approaches in electronics. The planned CWA is intended to be used by policymakers, manufacturers, industry associations, experts, recyclers; research institutes, … and will be drafted during the CIRC-UITS project timeframe. 🗒️ 👁️🗨️ All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the draft Project Plan using the commenting form available in the link: https://lnkd.in/dFMKR2Yk

♻️ Erion is the largest #ExtendedProducerResponsibility System in Italy, providing its Producers with the regulatory and technical assistance they need to fulfill the legal obligations related to the management of waste from electronic products, batteries, packaging, tobacco products and textiles.  🤝 The System supports the transition towards #circulareconomy also by participating in several European research projects, with a focus on education, technological innovation and system innovation.   🤖 Within #CircUits, Erion leads the pilot “Sorting Obsolete PCBs”, which aims to develop a system based on #AI to support operators in sorting reusable #PCBs, as well as a platform to enable treatment plants to sell these and other second-life electronic components to manufacturers.   Find out more about Erion and its activities! 👉 https://erion.it/en/   #Erion4Innovation #E4I #EPR #recycling #HorizonEU  

Our #CircUits partner DIN is the German Institute for Standardisation and serves as an independent platform for standardization in Germany and worldwide. More than 37,500 thousand experts from economy, research, consumer protection, society and the public sector contribute their expertise to the standardization process, which is managed by DIN as a non-profit organisation. The results are market-driven standards, which can promote trade, quality assurance, social and environmental protection as well as safety and understanding. With long-term experiences in supporting research projects, DIN helps to ensure the long-term dissemination of project results by implementing them in standardization documents. DIN represents Germany within CEN, the European Committee for Standardization, and ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. This gives the opportunity to present relevant project findings to relevant technical committees and stakeholders. In doing so, the uptake of CircUits results may be promoted. DIN is the standardization partner within the European research project CircUits. The aim of the standardization task in the project is an early identification of standardization potentials as well as the initiation of standardization activities. As circular economy is an very important topic for DIN, DIN wants to support the transformation to a circular economy in Germany, Europe and worldwide through standardization by participating in CircUits. #Circuitsproject #HorizonEU #Sustainability #CircularEconomy
